Stop 2 Pass by

Built during the 8th century, the Mezquita was originally a mosque, showcasing a stunning blend of Islamic architectural styles. Its iconic forest of columns and horseshoe arches are renowned worldwide.

During the Reconquista, the mosque was converted into a Christian cathedral, resulting in an intriguing fusion of Moorish and Christian elements. The ornate Renaissance-style choir and the impressive Baroque altarpiece stand in contrast to the mosque's original design. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it remains a symbol of Córdoba's enduring cultural significance.

Stop 3 Pass by

The Roman Bridge of Córdoba is a bridge in the historic center of Córdoba, Andalusia, Southern Spain, originally built in the early 1st century BC over the Guadalquivir River, although it has been reconstructed several times since then.

The Plaza de la Corredera is the most famous square in the city of Cordoba and is also referred to as the Roman center of the city. It has the typical rectangular shape that is characteristic of most 'Plaza Mayor' squares in the rest of Spain; however, this square is the only one of its kind in Andalusia.

The Calahorra Tower is a fortified gate in the historic center of Córdoba, Spain. The building has Islamic origins

This Synagogue of Córdoba ('Sinagoga de Córdoba') dates back to 1315 and is one of the three remaining medieval synagogues in Spain. The synagogue is located in the Juderia, the Jewish quarter of Córdoba.
